A quick stop at Shakespeare and Company to buy a book for a friend where I offended the salesman by responding to his assertion that they had had a copy in their Antiquarian section, but it had recently sold and, as a "rare" book, it's no longer available. My son was an English major, so I mean this in the most affectionate way possible, but the British accented voice of bearded English Lit major chilled noticeably when I blurted out that it's available on Amazon. Which it is, but a copy from Shakespeare and Co. would've been cooler.
